...When a wind storm comes sweeping the towering iceberg, who survives?...

"What are you doing here" said Ms. Cassandra turned ice-cold after immediately letting go of the woman's embrace.
"Tante~ we haven't seen for a long time, why is aunt acting cold?"
"Nothing requires me to be nice to you. And we'd better keep our distance within the right limits if we don't want to hurt each other."
This was the first time Agatha had seen her mother like this, never before had she acted this cold despite being angry with Arthur or Christ. Who is the woman who made her mother change this attitude?
"Ah, okay. Maybe aunt is still surprised to see me suddenly like this. But it's okay because I now live here so we'll meet often," no matter the cold attitude of the interlocutor, this woman just keeps smiling as if there's nothing.
Until finally the look of his eyes collided with Agatha's brown bead. Just a glance but the look in his eyes that had been smiling had turned frozen when he looked at Agatha, not long before he smiled again.
"I didn't expect to see big lady Anderson here" he said in a sweet voice that sounded exaggerated.
The words from his lips caught the attention of Mrs. Cassandra was immediately protective of Agatha and pulled her daughter-in-law's arm closer.
"Ah, surely you don't know me. I'm Neona Patrice Walker, president of Serenity & Jewelry. We didn't have time to meet at the previous meeting," the woman reached out her hand to Agatha to shake hands.
Agatha remembered the company she had worked with a while ago, She did not attend the meeting at that time, and quite did not expect to meet at this place.
Stretching out a hand in reply, "Agatha Winston," she replied short and in a line of smiles.
The woman looked surprised before smiling again, "Oh, Winston...?" the woman said hesitantly but in her eyes it clearly implied that she was not too surprised by this.
"He's my son-in-law. Christopher's wife," said Mrs. Cassandra was cold, "We'd better get back to where we belong" she continued, taking Agatha away from Neona.
Neona stared at the departure of the two people with a cynical smile completely different from the one she had previously looked at. Of course she knew that Agatha was married to Christ, just now she pretended not to know to see the reaction of her former future father-in-law. As expected, Ms. Cassandra acts alert and cold to him, while Agatha is still with her arrogance.
Shouldn't it be after she introduced herself, Agatha apologized to him directly for not attending the meeting earlier? But the woman arrogantly just introduced herself.
And what did he say?
Agatha Winston?
It felt like Neona's heart could not accept the name Winston and Agatha. That jealousy made her even more hate Agatha.
You'll see later.
.......
.......
.......
Actually Agatha wanted to ask what made her mother become that cold to the woman earlier.
But seeing her mother's bad mood but still trying to look friendly and smiling, Agatha undoes her intentions.
Later, he could ask Christ.
"Mom's okay? I'm gonna call the driver to pick me up," she bargained because her mom was quiet throughout the show.
Mrs. Cassandra smiled and grabbed Agatha's hand, grasping it tightly.
"Agatha, you have to remember always that I love you like a real child. You love mom too, right?"
Agatha was confused as to why her mother suddenly asked like that, "Of course I know and I love you too, Mom," she replied smilingly.
"Don't hesitate on mom, honey?"
Agatha who was still thinking about the reason why her mother's attitude had changed, only nodded in comfort.
"Then we go home now, I'm tired."

After making sure her daughter-in-law came home, ma'am. Cassandra soon speeds up her steps into the mansion and searches for Arthur but unfortunately the eldest son leaves with his wife and son.
Neona's existence here will only have a bad impact on Christ and can affect the marriage of his son.
Impatiently her hand moved quickly to contact Christ before Agatha reached home.
On the third ringing his son answered.
"Christ! I brought bad news for you."
'What's up, Mom? Why is my voice panicking like that?'
Christ heard clearly his mother's voice shaking across there.
"Neona's here."
A heavy sigh rang out from Christ, 'Mother has met him?'
'Yes, he contacted me before. That's why I tried to prevent Agatha from coming with me earlier. Because I knew Neona was there.'
"You should have said it to Mom first! She met Agatha earlier and I was worried."
'I also thought the same thing when Neona said that she was staying here again. I'm afraid Agatha knows what happened to me in the past.'
"Mom won't let that happen, Christ. I won't let you go back to suffering because of that woman."
'I'm afraid Agatha will find out, ma'am. I don't want to lose him.'
"Christ—You understand how you feel. It's gonna be hard on both of you."
'You will always support me, right?'
"Of course, son. You and Agatha both deserve to be happy."
'Thank you, Mum. I love you so much.'
.......
.......
.......
Agatha still kept thinking about her mother's attitude earlier, why it was so cold and hard on the short-haired woman before.
And about that woman, Agatha did not know before. There was something strange about that woman.
Meanwhile Agatha was not a person who could endure her curiosity and then contact her best friend.
"Joshie, uh,.."
'Hi My Queen, what is it?'
"I just met Neona Walker."
'Huh, who?'
"The new director of Serenity & Jewelry is working with us."
'Oh, yeah, I just remembered. You guys meet, where?'
"Health and beauty, I accompany you."
'Oh, I see.' replied Joshua lightly, 'Eh but how did you guys get to know each other? Didn't you ever meet before?'
"He introduced himself to me first. But something's weird..."
'What?'
"It seems that he knew my mother first, because before introducing himself he greeted my mother familiarly, but she responded very coldly. And this is the first time I've seen a mother like that."
'What do you mean, act cold?'
"Mother acted as if they weren't supposed to meet." Agatha explained hesitantly, "And I felt awkward because of the change in mother's attitude."
Hearing Agatha's explanation, Joshua becomes convinced of her previous uncomfortable feelings for Neona Walker.
'You want me to do what?'
"Can you check this woman's background?"
'All right, of course.'
Smiling, Joshua was secretly relieved as the sensitivity between him and Agatha was still the same as before. Their beliefs and doubts in judging things are always the same.
"Thank you, Joshie."
'Sure, Love.'
After turning off her phone line Agatha sighed, since when did she become so late with her roles as wife and daughter-in-law?
I don't know.
He would say and ask Christ this.
Agatha knows her feelings for Christ are still unclear but that doesn't mean she should ignore and not care right?
He only cared as much as he did for Joshua.
Sometimes man cannot see the depth of his heart.
But the feeling can be more honest in expressing itself.
Bringing humans into real, unconscious action.
